HARD COPY
HARDCOPY_SETUP, HCSU
Command/Query
DESCRIPTION
The HARDCOPY_SETUP command configures the instrument’s hard
copy driver. It enables you to specify the device type and transmission
mode of the hard copy unit connected to the instrument. This can be
clipboard or disk drive as well as a printer. One or more individual
settings can be changed by specifying the appropriate keywords,
together with the new values. As with all multiple entry commands, you
can send any combination or permutation of keywords. If you send
contradictory values within a command, the result is governed by the
last one sent. See the following pages for command notation. Note that
some values are in quotation marks, because they are to be the names of
directories, files, or printers, which may contain spaces and other non-
alphanumeric characters. The other values must be chosen from the
lists provided below.
